The application manager on Omega2 dash tells you that Node-Red can't be installed on this device.
Nevertheless I was able to install it.
extend memory according to: https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/boot-from-external-storage.html
please consider that some lines of the documentation are outdated. For example: ummount /tmp/mounts/SD-P1 has to be replaced by umount /mnt/mmcblk0p1
opkg install node
opkg install oos-app-nodered
mix@crispyoz Hi, thanks for your answer. I just checked again with fbdragtest.py. Touching the screen is not sufficient. I have to press firmly. I found that it works better with a stylus. But this also does not work without pressure. I do not really want to discuss my fat fingers as I can operate any touch screen on my iphone, ipad or lattepanda. But you may be right. I just tried it with my finger nail instead of my finger tip and this works better - even better than the stylus. But I still do not understand why this touch screen is different from all the others.
The touch screen on
my omega dash works but I have to press it considerably firmly. It works better with a capacitive stylus. Is there a way to influence the sensitivity of the touch screen or is this sensitivity typical. I would like to tap on the screen instead of pressing it
@steeley Sorry, I quoted the wrong project.
https://github.com/OnionIoT/rgb-led-traffic-light
This one provides html.
@steeley maybe you want to adapt this project: https://docs.onion.io/omega2-project-book-vol1/led-traffic-light.html. You would use gpioctl instead of expled. The buttons work fine.
I am afraid this is not the most sophisticated setup of all times. But it shows how I can handle input or output on Omega2 pro in Node Red.
There is a pushbutton connected to GPIO0 for input. The led is connected to GPIO18 for output. As soon as I press the pushbutton the led will light. When I release the button, the led will turn off.
Instead of turning on the led Node-Red will give me other possibilities without specific programming. I could twitter 'Hi everybody. I've just pressed the pushbutton!"
Hi,
dont't know if this will help. I can toggle a led that is attached to GPIO18 by this flow. So it is possible to manage GPIO output or input by system commands
@crispyoz Thanks for your feedback. There is a request submitted by https://github.com/AndreyMitsyk already. He found the error in May, 2019. I was able to correct the scripts. But I do neither have the time nor the ability to update the OOS app. It may be done by modifying JSON files, but I don‘t really know
Re: Dropbox apptoken saves endlessly 
There are errors in the scripts. They renamed /www/apps/oos-app-camera to /www/apps/oos-app-timelapse-camera.
So the scripts do not work. I changed them
After changing the scripts I started all of them manually and now it works.
I think the OOS application still does not work. Onion team please correct the html files and the scripts
This was a real pleasurer today. I just had a bag with the Omega LTE in my car. I didn't need any roof antenna. Perhaps outside Vienna I will need external antennas.
@JP-Norair http://repo.onion.io.s3.amazonaws.com/omega2/images/omega2p-v0.2.2-b202.bin
is that what you are looking for?
@Peter-Carr I aggree, with some common sense I was able do it, but I would urgently ask the Onion team to update their documentation. Obviously there are some differences in newer firmware versions like b233
I added a 1 GB SD-card. it was already formatted and automatically mounted. So I only had to start the slightly modified tar command and then I had to modify /etc/config/fstab file
(But before that it took me hours and several firmware resets)
good news.
It works after I have put the sim card back into my laptop and removed the pin.
Then I reinserted it into my new omega2 LTE
I wish you all a Happy new year!
Hi,
I can set the apn by using the command: o2lte apn 'bob.at'
For a connection I should also enter the user name: data@bob.at
and password: ppp.
how can I do this? I found that the script enters the apn by: uci set onion.@onion[0].apn="$apn"
At the moment I am not able to connect to the network.

After HOURS of trying and updating the firmware several times it is now working. OUPGRADE was not helpful at all. I think I managed the upgrade by installing the firmware manually. I think SYSUPGRADE with switches -n -p has made the job.
So I still do not really know what I have done. My next step would have been studying how to set up and configure the overlayfs. Anyway, please check your upgrade scripts. It is very annoying spending so much time for installing a system that should run from scratch.
Hi,
I am trying to setup an Omega2 pro. But I am not able to install apps like node red. Which seems to be caused by insufficient memory. I tried oupgrade. When I start o2-pro-init manually, it finishes immediately without any output. Any hint what I am doing wrong?
@TheLion
I have exactely the same problem. This has been lasting for more than a week. It is not possible to ping cloud.onion.io.
@Mark-Williams
Hi Mark, maybe this is not the answer your are waiting for.
I am going to experiment with simple home automation tasks. I think I will use Losant as an IoT-platform. But cloud.onion.io might also work. My very first attempt was reading the temperature in my home office using temperature.onion.io.
in this example I am reading sensor data (Vienna (AT) indoor). In the same way I could send data like it is done in the OLED-example at cloud.onion.io

@Vishnu-Vardhan-V
Yesterday I got my delivery. So it took about a month including customs processing. I think this is ok. Obviously order completed means shipped. After my request they provided a tracking number. So the shipping process was transparent, although some patience was needed
@Community
I wish to thank Onion, because this morning they sent me shipping information. My parcel is held by the local customs in Austria. So it might take another 10 days. I am looking forward to using the docks
